GUIDELINES FOR JOINT METER READINGS The following guide lines shall be followed while taking Joint Meter

Readings of the Private Power Generators. 1) Readings of all the display parameters of both main & check meter s are to be taken and are to be recorded in Annexure-I. 2) Readings of MD (A) & CMD (B) in both export & Import modes, and also the Reset count (C) are to be recorded (from Annexure-I) in Annexure-II A. 3) MD is to be reset manually. 4) Thereafter, readings of MD (D), CMD (E) and Reset count (F) are to be taken and recorded in Annexure-II A. 5) CMD (G) and Reset Count (H) of the previous month JMR are also to be recorded in Annexure-II A. 6) Difference (I) between Cumulative MD (after reset) in the present JMR (E) and Cumulative MD (after reset) in the previous JMR (G) is to be calculated. 7) If the difference (I) is equal to (A), then it shall be taken as MD to be billed for the current month. In this case the difference of reset count (F) - (H) will generally be equal to one (1). If it is not equal to one (1), analyse & give the reasons at the end of Annexure-II A. 8) If the difference (I) is not equal to (A), then Annexure II B is to be filled for arriving at the correct MD to be billed for current month. In this case the difference of reset count (F) - (H) will not generally be equal to one (1). (It may be due to MD auto reset feature/periodical testing of the meter etc.) 9) The abstract of billing parameters is to be given in Annexure-III. 10) For the captive power plants, the readings of the in-house consumption meter are also to be taken and recorded in Annexure-IV. 11) Whenever difference between the readings of the Main meter and the Check meter for any month is more than 0.5%, the following steps shall be taken: (i) Checking of CT and VT connections; (ii) Testing of accuracy of interface meter at site with reference standard meter of accuracy class higher than the meter under test. If the difference exists even after such checking or testing, then the defective meter shall be replaced with a correct meter. 12) In case of conspicuous failures like burning of meter and erratic display of metered parameters and when the error found in testing of meter is beyond the permissible limit of error provided in the relevant standard, the meter shall be immediately replaced with a correct meter. 13) In case where both the Main meter and Check meter fail, at least one of the meters shall be immediately replaced by a correct meter. 14) Any discrepancies found are to be given as note in the JMR.
